Suncoast Christian College currently has many school-based trainees and apprentices in the workforce in vocational areas in a diverse range of industries and disciplines.
Sunshine Coast Apprenticeships
What is a School-Based Traineeship or Apprenticeship?
Students spend four days at school, one day at work, and time at training. The flexible school program allows students to effectively combine a School-Based Traineeship or Apprenticeship while studying for their Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) and may contribute to an ATAR.
- School-Based Traineeships and Apprenticeships are integrated into the Senior timetable as one of the six Senior subjects so students may remain ATAR eligible.
- Best of both worlds for practically-minded students wanting a head start into Sunshine Coast apprenticeships.
